All new entries are bold. ---Region MapMAPThere are lands beyond the mountains to the east, and the seas in the other directions, but their hardly known.

Character CreationThe stats are going to be a point-buy system as described here. You receive 20 points to spend there. You can also take two flaws, to get up to two bonus feats. Flaws can be things like fears, handicaps, disorders, mental scars, things like that. You all get the max starting gold, as described in the description for each class.

The available races are: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Gnome, Orc, Kunari, Tiefling, Aasimar, Kobold, and Goblin. As well as half-elf, half-orc, and half-dwarf. The most common Half-races are Human/anything. After that, Dwarf/anything and Orc/anything are sort of common. Kunari/anything and Gnome/anything are uncommon. Elf/anything (except human) and Svel'dra/anything (except human) are rare. If you wish to be a race that's not listed here, then come talk to me and we'll work something out.

Kunari are very similar to humans, except their cat-like ears, claws, fangs, whiskers and tails. They're a little shorter and weaker than humans, but they're also faster and more cunning. Kunari recieve a +2 to Dexterity, +2 to Charisma, and -2 to Constitution. They have two natural claw weapons, dealing 1d4 damage each. Kunari recieve +2 to Perception, Acrobatics, and Survival checks. They also recieve +2 to their Reflex save to dodge traps. They have Low Light Vision, and a base land speed of 40 feet per round.

Use this as a reference for making your characters. Any classes from there, as well as any feat or anything else is allowed from there. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/

I expect you to play believable characters, as there will be plenty of roleplaying as well as fighting.

The Nations of KallyriaIn the land of Kallyria, eight nations dominate the landscape. Eralda, Teritia, Oerba, Nemaria, Herguard, Hollistein, Morgara, and Shouldin. Eralda is the forest nation of the Elves. The country is very xenophobic of the other races, only trusting Humans, Gnomes and Kunari, with the other races sometimes treated as second class citizens. The Elven Noble Houses each hold power throughout the kingdom. Teritia has a hilly landscape, with the Grand Lalic River, starting there. They are a mainly Human nation, heavily interested in trade, trading the wool and hides from their many farmlands. Oerba, despite being in the middle of the continent, tries to remain peaceful with the other nations. Oerba is the homeland of many Kunari, and they still control the majority of the political spectrum there. Most of the nation is farmland, producing mass amounts of produce. The wheat fields surrounding the capitol of Agran are famous throughout the world. Nemaria is by far the most active in exploration and colonization of the outside world. They have the largest military in the area, but use it in defense more than invasion. Nemaria isn't dominated by any one race, but Humans are in most positions of power. Morgara has been very inactive in politics, almost exclusively keeping to themselves. In times of war, their mainly Orc population drives them into battle with any who challenge them. But they have had the most contact and trade with the lands to the south. Shouldin, although small, is one of the more aggressive nations. Many Kobolds find their homes here. They constantly contend the surrounding nations of Hollistein, Oerba and Morgara for territory and land. Hollistein is covered in highlands and mountainous regions, leaving the land nonviable for large amounts of crops. Being a Dwarven Nation, Hollistein's population is almost entirely in a few huge metropolises on mountainsides, and underground. Due to the large amount of gems and precious metals in the mountain, nearly all jewelry and the raw materials for coinage and metallurgy comes from Hollistein. Herguard is a smaller nation, but they make up for it with their great innovations. The Herguardian Gnomes are some of the greatest inventors in the world, working on technology that is decades ahead of the other nations using steam technology; such as engines, massive air-ships, and trains. The huge snowfall allows them near endless supplies of water for their steam-technology.

Eralda is ruled by King Deyawhr, an elven nobleman who cares more about his citizens than his country. Teritia is ruled by The Grand Council, a group of officials who govern the lands. Herguard is ruled by Lord Berlywir, a Gnomish inventor in his own right. Hollistein is ruled by King Garngath Grayhammer, a Dwarven man with a temper that comes just as fast as it goes. Shouldin is ruled Sir Skrashga, a Kobold who claims descendant from dragons. Morgara is ruled by High Chieftan Krad, a war hungry Orc ruler who gained his power through his military prowess. Oerba is controlled by Lady Valya, a Kunari woman who just recently inherited the throne from her late parents. Nemaria is ruled by King Norman, but it's common knowledge that the Grand Knights of Nemaria defy his rule and have all the true power in Nemaria.

Knightly OrdersThroughout the land, many Knightly orders protect their various lands. The most powerful of these Knightly orders is the Fellowship of the Noble Steed. The Fellowship of the Noble Steed is composed of men and women of all races and classes. From Wizards to Barbarians, and from Gnomes to Giants. The Order of the Noble Steed is ruled by the Six Knights of Virtue. Nothing is known about the Six Knights of Virtue under their armor. The six of them wear armor or clothes that cover their entire body, so as to preserve their identity. But their armors are each one-of-a-kind, as are their weapons. The White Knight of Liberality, who crafts powerful magical items, The Red Knight of Merriment, who sings magical songs to inspire power and courage, The Blue Knight of Loyalty, who's combat prowess is only matched by his speed, The Orange Knight of Integrity, who's fists are as powerful as his will, The Yellow Knight of Benevolence, who has dominion over the beasts of the land, and The Violet Knight of Fellowship, who's spells strike fear into those who see them. The Six Virtuous Knights act in secret, and have no favor in the hearts of the kings of the lands, as their actions seem to undermine the actions of the nations.

Racial RelationsThe various races intermingle throughout the lands, and are considered equal. Kunari, Dwarves and Orcs were once slaves to the Humans and Elves, hundreds of years ago. Dwarves and Kunari have long since thrown away anger for the slavery, but the Orcs haven't forgotten, and have resentment to their Human and Elven ex-slave owners, and feel a bond to their ex-bretheren Dwarves and Kunari. Nowadays, the only slaves are the serfs that work on the lands of the many Nobles in the lands. Aasimar and Tiefling both have never had their own homeland, and tend to be travelers throughout the land; Although some Tiefling and Aasimar find permanent homes for themselves. Goblins used to be a threat to all, until Gnomish trading and Orcish treaties caused them to be more civilized. The Gnomes and Kobolds kept out the the way of the others until a few hundred years ago.

MagicWizards are taught in Mage Towers. There is one Mage Tower for every specialization. Wizards in that tower do not have to study that specialization, but a majority of them do. Sorcerers, Witches and Summoners are considered to be apostates of mage towers. They are not allowed in the mage towers due to the fear that they will be possessed by an outsider, and that outsider will spread throughout the towers. Each Mage Tower has Paladins guarding it. Should an Outsider take control of any mage within the tower, the paladins are ordered to kill that mage, and any mages that show signs of possession. Paladins actively seek out and destroy apostate mages. The Mage Towers are considered their own sovereign nation in their own right. All Mage Towers are presided over by a Magistar; a Grand Mage. That Magistar rules over the mages in his or her tower in any way they see fit. The 8 Magistar, when together, are called the Arcane Council. They are considered to be the greatest mages in the world. In each Mage Tower there is an Altar of Valence, to honor the deity who gave them their magic. Worship of Reasai is grounds for banishment from the mages tower.

When mages cast magic, they draw their power from the Realm of Valence. Dark magic, such as hexes, curses, blood magic, and dark sorcery are drawn from the Realm of Reasai. When a mortal falls asleep, their soul resides in the Realm of Dresmodia. Dresmodia watches over mortals as they sleep, protecting them from demons who wish to possess them. Mages don't go to the realm of Dresmodia when they sleep, but rather they drift between the planes of existence.

GuildsIn each large city, the various trade guilds buy and sell their wares, and give a place to rest for their members. Trade Guilds accept membership from any traders, both shopkeepers and traveling traders. They act as middlemen for traders and salesmen looking to purchase or sell any goods. Using a Guild's service is free to it's members, but if you are part of a rival Guild, or an independent trader, then they normally make you pay a fine.

There are also guilds for any number of professions and crafts. Woodworking guilds, blacksmithing guilds, hunting guilds, and alchemists guilds, for some. There are also thieves guilds ran underground, always on the run from the law.

Deities[b]The deities of Kallyria take an active role in the goings-ons of its denizens, that is, when they want to. The Mother Goddess Ellysia is seen as the Queen of the Deities, as she created the world, and mothered the sixteen major Gods. Each God and Goddess controls their own plane, each plan acting like their kingdom. Everyone worships Ellysia, and she doesn't have any formal church, as all churches of her sixteen children honor her.

Ending NotesBut before we all start, I want to do a prologue rp with each of you individually, so that you all get a sense of who your character is and why they're adventuring.

There is no tl;dr. I expect you all to at least skim through it, and eventually read it all before we start. Could everyone please send me their character sheets, and a description of what their character looks like, their history, and their personality? If you need some info about some city that they could be from, then just message me and I'll be glad to help you.

I'm kinda... how do I say... clueless, so I guess I'll have to learn, but I guess I'm kinda open to trying this out.I am interested, so I thought I'd post. I do have a lot of free time on my hands and I'm kinda starting to love RPing.

Well, I'll be more than happy to teach you, as well as anyone else who wants to learn. If I teach you, will you join?

In fact, you should just use this step-by-step guide alongside with the 3.5 SRD. And even though it advise some classes for beginners, I say just pick whatever you are interested in. We will cover you later on!

Also ctc has some custom races in addition to the standard races, and ctc also has a custom pantheon (if you plan on playing cleric or paladin). So you should ask him for those.

Of course, I don't think ctc is asking for a character sheet right now, but just a general idea of your character. If you have any questions or want recommendations you can ask ctc or me!

I want to join...but I have no idea what this is anymore. Is it fantasy...or a steam-punk thing?

It's going to be a traditional fantasy setting. Think Lord of the Rings.

On top of that, what races and classes are there?

All of the races and classes from the SRD are available. I've made a few homebrew prestige classes and items. I've also made two homebrew races as well; The Kutari, an anthro race that looks like a cross between a cat and a fox, and the Svel'dra, an anthro lizard race. I'll try to draw each later so you have an idea as to what they look like.

It seems like all of you need to be taught how to play D&D 3.5, so I will work with each of you to help you. Tell me when you are available for a lesson. It won't take long, and it won't be hard to learn.

Aquablast has played D&D 4e, so he just needs to know the specifics of 3.5. Therefore, he will help me with your characters and the stats and things. But I would prefer if you needed help with something, you asked either me or both of us. I can help you make your character, as can Aqua.

I'm working on the setting and background, and will post it when ready.

Great! By the way, the Svel'dra are more of a mix between a dragon and a lizard.

Re: Who wants to join an IRC roleplaying game of some sort?

I want to get everyone together for a session on the IRC sometime very soon, so that we can plan things all together. I'm working on the world, and I should have the map as well as some important information done very soon. I will post everything when I finish it.

In the meantime, I would like everyone to either post, or PM me, their race/class choices. If you need help, then don't hesitate to ask me.

By the way, can everyone post your timezone and your free time? The hardest part is finding a good time to gather! Just post your timezone and when you are usually free during your timezone, then I will work it out or something!

...and free time for me is really random sadly. My mum has habits of making me do things at the last minute of anything. For a fact, anything before 4PM (GMT+0) will never work for me during weekdays. 11PM is sometimes my latest for weekdays...although I have habits of always staying up a little later.

*Peeks in*>> <<Well, this seems really interesting, though I still need to be taught D&D....how many people'r you takin?

Sorry, I only just noticed...There is absolutely 0 chance of me getting that on any weekday (including Sunday, and excluding Friday). I'm not sure how often you plan on doing it, but I'll be able to do that on your Friday and Saturday on the majority of weekends. Not a vast majority...but a majority. Think 60% of the time.

Well, that's good because I was planning on it being on Saturday.

Re: ctcmjh's D&D Campaign OOC UPDATED

still interested, though now I have a job so it may be harder to be online

I'm highly experienced in 3.5, and I'm more than willing to fill any roll of the party that's lacking if needed; however, I'm best at tank and arcane spellcaster (both the control and damage dealing roles). As of now, I'm thinking up what I want my backstory to be (in case I'm let into the group) but it depends on my class a bit.

It would be great to have you join us! Actually, we're playing Pathfinder, which is almost identical to 3.5.
